How do players handle Destination Tickets during setup?

Players are dealt Destination Tickets, then each player keeps at least two. Discarded tickets go back into the game box unseen by other players, and the kept tickets remain secret until the end.

What actions can a player take on their turn?

On a turn, a player performs exactly one of four actions: draw Train Car cards, claim a route, or complete the other listed actions in the game turn section. Route claiming requires playing matching train cars by color and quantity, placing a train on the route spaces and scoring accordingly.
